RE: [Flightgear-devel] Texture compression experiments in plib
Tiago Gusmão I'm having a HW problem and i can't enable AGP in linux, which makes the hunter, b1900d and the Nimitz lower FPSs dramatically, which i believe is caused by the NVRAM filling up with textures thus forcing texture transfers to the card (GF4 MX 440 64MB) so after Surge mentioned texture compression, i added it in plib, with amazing performance improvements in those situations, It also appears to be improving FPS in general in other situations. it doesn't check for the extension, **before trying**, check glxinfo for the presence of EXT_texture_compression_s3tc it's just an ugly hack, works for me and likely everyone else with s3tc, but it's bad code, i know, a brief explanation: http://www.digit-life.com/articles/reviews3tcfxt1/ spec: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl- sample/registry/EXT/texture_compression_s3tc.txt I've applied this patch to my copy of plib-cvs. With a nVidia FX5200 card there is no improvement in frame rate around KSFO, or near Nimitz (but I don't get a drop there anyway). I think there is an improvement around SF and the bridges. I was hoping that it might enable me to run Jon's new KSFO scenery with Tiger data, but no improvement there at all. Either Jon has to reduce the ploy count markedly, or I have to upgrade my video card! On the other hand, this patch seems to have no adverse effects either.

That is Player A tells Player B's computer to position A plane at 10ft above sea level but Player B's simulator has terrain at 13ft. From B's point of view, A will be low in the ground.

[Flightgear-devel] Flight lesson scripters / ATC chatter
I have just added some functionality to FlightGear to play one-off wav files. These files do not need to be preloaded, they can be named and played on the fly at any time. The system maintains a separate queue of requests and plays one at a time with no overlap. If you submit 3 requests concurrently, they will be played sequentially in the order received. It occurs to me that this could be quite useful for things like scripting a flight lesson or tutorial. It could also be quite useful for implimenting some random ATC chatter. There are 3 ways to access the wav playing system. 1. From inside the FlightGear code you can do something like this: #include Sound/fg_fx.hxx FGFX *fx = (FGFX *)globals-get_subsystem(fx); fx-play_message( path, file ); // path is the directory containing the file // file is the actual file name including the .wav extension 2. From an external script or via the props/telnet interface run: run play-audio-message /audio/directory/name file.wav 3. From a nasal script (not yet tested) fgcommand( play-audio-message, /audio/directory/name, file.wav); Hey, if anyone knows a way to scan a directory in nasal and return a list of all the files, I could have random ATC chatter implimented in about 5 minutes with a nasal script.

My build tree is ancient, so I don't quite have enough time to test

would work: insert this into NasalSys.cxx and add an entry to the

Isn't that too big a security hole? It's OK to assume that your airplanes code is secure to run, but probably not if it doesn't come from the central CVS Also, that guy's model might be a development one, that he's righting and debugging at that very moment. V. Conversely, someone developing a new plane with a huge number of polys. That person connects to flightgear MP server at SFO with those who can see the plane seeing their frame rate drop due the polycount. Also think about the dial-up modem. A player has developed a custom plane connect to the MP server, several players around the same airport starts a transfer of the new plane. You still have to solve the problem of two different planes that have been customised by different players from over writing other variants of the same plane. I think we should stick with a centralised hangar of selectable planes which can be downloaded as required. Regards George --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

LOL!

The real ogeL blocks are solid rather than cylindrical and uses less polys. There are quite a few different generic plastic block companies so I don't see it as an issue. But your opinion may vary, but in the end it is up to Curt as to whether it becomes official or not. Regards George --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
